The anti-gun movement will do anything to try to prove that guns should not be in homes that have children. We even reported on a study that focused solely on gun incidents involving children while ignoring the fact that 5 times more children are hospitalized over pool incidents.

But what do we do to keep children from drowning? We teach them how to swim. Now some gun owning parents are telling ABC that teaching kids how to shoot at a young age will actually prevent gun accidents form happening in the first place, and we tend to agree with them.

After all, if a child is only taught that guns are bad, only bad people have guns, and if they ever touch a gun they are bad too how do you think they are going to react if they ever come into contact with one? Will they just avoid it like the plague or will curiosity take over?

The 20/20 segment called “Young Guns” with Diane Sawyer is supposed to be an attempt to bring gun owners and anti-gunners together on the subject. But the only ones using any logic are the gun owners who spoke on this segment saying that the very reason there are gun accidents in the first place is that parents do not teach their kids how to properly handle and respect a gun.

“There are a lot of accidents that happen because kids aren’t properly trained to use guns,” Latham Doxey said. “So it’s either education or ignorance, is the way we look at it… I would rather be the one to show our kids the proper way to use guns.”
